Skoda Enyaq Review 2025: Price, specs & boot space

If you're looking for a no-nonsense electric family car that does a lot of things very well and will be easy to live with, then the Skoda Enyaq should definitely be on your shortlist. 

If you don't need quite the space in the boot, then take a look at the closely related (and even more affordable) Skoda Elroq. A bit smaller and with a 470-litre boot, it shares a virtually identical design inside. 

While the Skoda Enyaq 85 impresses with its 365-mile range, we actually reckon the Enyaq 60 is the one to go for. The range is good and the entry-level SE L model is well-equipped, not missing out on any 'must-have' features. That said, we'd be tempted to spec one in Edition trim that comes with a few little extra creature comforts. 

The affordable electric SUV market is a rapidly expanding one. You should also consider the (mechanically very similar) Volkswagen ID.4 and the slightly posher Audi Q4 e-tron. If you fancy something a little less conservative in its design, we'd recommend the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, while the Nissan Ariya might be worth considering. You may also want to take a look at the Tesla Model Y or the slightly smaller Polestar 2. And as we've mentioned, there's even competition from its slightly smaller sibling, the Elroq. 

The Skoda Enyaq manages to demonstrate more character inside than the majority of electric cars that have come before it. Compare it to the more expensive Audi Q4 e-tron, and there really isn't much in it in terms of plushness.

It looks smart inside, particularly if you spec one of the quirkier interior design selections and it feels like it will happily deflect whatever you may throw in it (kids and dogs, for example). It's not the last world in knurled knobs and soft-touch finishes, but you're not going to find any seriously flimsy plastics.

An iPad plonked on the dashboard seems to be par for the course in electric cars at this price point, and the Enyaq hasn't escaped this trend. It's refreshing, though, that Skoda hasn't used it as a way to upsell pricier models – all have the same 13.0-inch navigation system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

It's easy to operate with quick responses to jabs of the finger, while its graphics are typical Volkswagen Group smart. It's not perfect, though – we noticed that its position means it does seem to attract reflections on a sunny day, while we hate the fashion for lumping in climate control functions and the like into the infotainment system. 

All Skoda Enyaq models get a digital display rather than conventional dials. This is functional rather than fancy - buy the Audi Q4 e-tron if you want something a bit swisher. 

A head-up display system is available as part of the infotainment package plus. This projects key data like your current speed and navigation directions into your field of view – useful, but probably not worth the hefty retail price.

Whether it's the incredibly versatile Octavia Estate, surprisingly practical Kamiq or simply huge Superb, Skoda has form for cars that trounce rivals in terms of luggage space. And, pleasingly, the Skoda Enyaq iV doesn't disappoint.

The Skoda Enyaq's boot can carry 585 litres of luggage with the rear seats in use, which is more than the Volkswagen ID.4, Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E. And there's loads of room for people, too, with enough room in the back to fit three adults side-by-side (helped by a flat floor). Headroom is particularly impressive, while large side windows will prevent kids from feeling claustrophobic.

One slight disappointment is that the Enyaq isn't available with seven seats – but there are now a number of 7-seater electric car alternatives if that's what you need.

And, while the Enyaq is full of Skoda's trademark clever features (like the umbrella storage compartment in the driver's door), you won't find a sliding rear bench to let you decide between people- or load-carrying space. You will, though, find a remote release button in the boot to drop the rear seats, and with them folded down, there's a massive 1710 litres of space available.

If you're happy to sacrifice a little bit of practicality for an extra dose of style, take a look at the Skoda Enyaq Coupe. This does have a slightly smaller boot than the SUV model (it loses about 15 litres of space), but it's not as impractical as you might expect. All Enyaq Coupe models come with a panoramic sunroof which has been designed not to intrude on rear headroom, so it's perfectly pleasant back there.

With the new faceligy, you chose from two core models: the Skoda Enyaq 60 (with 59kWh usable capacity) and Skoda Enyaq 85 (with an 77kWh battery) - all Enyaqs are rear-wheel drive with the exception of the SportLine 85x, which is all-wheel drive. 

Power and performance both get a bit of a boost over earlier models, with the Enyaq 60 now delivering 204PS (up from 179PS) and the Enyaq 85 putting out 268PS (an increase from 204PS). As such, the new Enyaq 60 will cover 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds, while the 85 completes the sprint in 6.5 seconds. 

In reality, both feel quick enough, without pushing you back in your seat the same way a Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model 3 might. That's no real hardship – rapid acceleration is great for the occasional giggle, but rubbish for reaching your destination on a charge. Besides, in typical EV form, there's no hesitation or delay when you hit the Skoda Enyaq's accelerator. That means it feels a fair bit quicker than it actually is, and takes a lot of the effort out of overtakes or joining traffic.

If you want a quicker Enyaq, take a look at the vRS model, which has a stonking 340PS.

Buy a Skoda Enyaq Edition 85 with the bigger 82kWh battery and it'll officially be able to travel 365 miles between charges, while the SportLine 85x with its all-wheel drive will match it for range. The standard SportLine 85 rear-wheel drive model is only a few miles behind at 354 miles. The Enyaq iV 60, meanwhile, can still handle a more-than-acceptable 268 miles. 

Of course, just like fuel economy figures for petrol and diesel models, the real-world range of a Skoda Enyaq will be dependent on factors like how it's driven and even what the weather's doing. Driving around town, making full use of the regenerative braking to slow down will see the best results. Speeding down the motorway with the wipers going and headlights shining will have a detrimental impact on range, but our various drives have found the Skoda Enyaq iV more than usable in terms of range.

The Skoda Enyaq makes conventional petrol and diesel rivals look rather uncouth in terms of refinement. It's astonishingly refined, particularly at motorway speeds, without the usual intruding rumble of a combustion engine. At low speeds, it emits a slightly weird (almost spaceship-like) tone in order to discourage unwanted car/human interaction, but you're not going to notice it inside the cabin.

Like all electric vehicles, the lack of an engine in the Enyaq has given Skoda a few challenges in terms of refinement. A grumbling diesel can often be used to mask quieter noises, but we haven't noticed any creaks or rattles from any of the test cars we've sampled. There's a bit of noise from the suspension on bumpier roads and you'll notice a bit of wind noise at higher speeds, but tyre roar is well hushed. None of this should impact on your enjoyment of the Skoda Enyaq.

Standard safety equipment includes front side airbags and curtain airbags, driver and front passenger airbags with passenger airbag deactivation, while rear side airbags are available as an optional extra. There are ISOFIX child seat points on the front passenger seat and outer rear seats. 

The Skoda Enyaq comes with a number of safety features as standard. This includes predictive adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, blind spot detection, traffic sign recognition, emergency steering support with turn assist, lane assist and front assist with assisted automatic braking to vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. 

The Skoda Enyaq has been awarded a five-star safety rating by Euro NCAP. 

The Skoda Enyaq has been on sale now for the last couple of years and we've had very few reports of issues from owners. Skoda as a brand performed well in the latest HonestJohn.co.uk Satisfaction Index, achieving a reliability rating of 9.4 out of 10.

Skoda offers the Enyaq with a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty from new (the first two years with unlimited mileage). The Enyaq's battery is warranted for up to 8 years/100,000 miles.

Some earlier cars with the smaller 55kWh battery fall into insurance group 22, while the current SE L 60 is the cheapest new model to insure in insurance group 27. The SportLine 85x model is the most expensive trim option to insure and sits in group 37 - the same as the vRS.

As ever, we'd recommend shopping around for a competitive car insurance quote. There are specialist electric car insurance providers, but it's worth trying out a few comparison websites if you want to save money on car insurance.

With the new car tax changes that came into place in early 2025, electric cars are no longer exempt from paying Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), which means that the annual tax for a Skoda Enyaq for year two onwards is the same as petrol, diesel and hybrid-powered cars. This is currently set at £195, but with most trim/battery options now costing over £40,000, the Enyaq also falls into the government's premium car tax supplement. This is currently set at £425 annually from years two to six, which will see your total tax bill rise to £620 per year. 

You get a pretty comprehensive list of standard equipment on the Skoda Enyaq SE L 60. The exterior of the most affordable model features 19-inch 'Proteus' alloy wheels, LED lights (front and rear), black window trim and black roof rails. Inside, the standard car comes in Loft interior trim with LED ambient lighting, tri-zone climate control, and height-adjustable heated front seats with manual lumbar support.

There's a 13-inch touchscreen navigation system, Virtual Cockpit, DAB radio and wireless charging. Technology includes front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control and rain-sensing wipers. Lane assist is standard, as well as front assist with automatic braking.

Next up in the range is the Skoda Enyaq Edition 60 and 85. Both get 19-inch alloys and the same 13-inch screen as the SE L, but the Edition trim adds LED matrix headlights and animated LED rear lights, electric drivers seat with massage function and additional rear side airbags. 

As its name suggests, the Skoda Enyaq 85 Sportline is a sportier choice, with 20-inch Vega alloy wheels, rear spoiler, gloss black root rails, full LED matrix beam headlights and sport bumpers. Inside, you'll find Alcantara/leather upholstery, carbon effect decor, a head-up display, Canton sound system and a 360-degree area view camera. Other highlights include sports suspension. 

As well as the core trim levels, Skoda offers a variety of interior design selections - Loft, Lounge, Lodge and Suite Cognac. The standard Loft interior is finished in grey and black, with a combination of fabric and artificial leather. Lodge adds two-tone materials throughout the cabin, including plenty of orange stitching and seatbelts.

The Lounge interior trim features a combination of leather and microfibre with a soft suede finish. The microfibre fabric pad on the dashboard is quite something, complemented by mini green stitching and fabric door inserts. 

The Suite Cognac design selection is even bolder, with cognac brown leather upholstery and contrasting stone interior details. If the cognac colour is a bit too much, there's also a Suite Black offering.
